Michael Pollan

Through personal experience and much research, the author provides us with a powerful rationale for reconsidering the treatment potential of these drugs in an excellent journey in education, through which the book leads us in describing the world of psychedelic drugs and their history and what effects they are able to evoke. It challenged all that is known to exist about consciousness, mental health, and the nature of what healing really is, by simply asking the reader to change his viewpoint on mind-altering substances. This is a book of passage through the depth of the human psyche, the journey of how one could change his or her mind and maybe his or her life.

"In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto" presents an alluring formula that makes this manifest sensible for a return to a traditional, whole-food diet in the face of the industrialized, highly processed modern diet. Based on scientific study and cultural history, Pollan argues that it is only this way of thinking about "food" as opposed to "nutrients" that preserves health. This pragmatic, dynamic guide will equip readers with conscientious, sustainable food decisions that ensure quality, enjoyment, and the pleasure of having made the dining experience possible.
